Fractal City - using AE fractal noise to generate complex forms in Mir

Dan Sollis — Thu, 31 Jan 2013 19:41:39 +0000

I really love the fractal noise generator in After Effects, and it works beautifully as a source for displacement maps in Mir. This is almost entirely procedurally generated - no bitmaps or external assets used.

You can download the After Effects project files from digitaldistortion.net if you want to have a play with it.
